Thanks for the analysis @Kutchkutch:. So we can conclude:

gāvṭhī is not from a "similar formation" and is instead from grāmastha.

It can hardly be determined what the actual source of the -वटी component is.

रानटी is not a simplification of रानवटी; instead they may have followed different formations, because of the fact that the former is present in Marathi as well but the latter is unheard of in Marathi. -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪^{(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴)} 01:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bhagadatta: I arrived at the same conclusions. Kutchkutch (talk) 11:11, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
